Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Velorazzo frames-Who makes them?

Are they just rebadged Kinesis frames like everything else?
I am looking at these https://cgi.ebay.com/Carbon-Shimano-1...em160035177887 and will likely just replace the wheels and seat, as it is a complete 105 groupset, as in actual Shimano cranks and brakes. The frame actually looks like it is OK-I love that it is not covered in stickers! Plain black frames are cool with me, especially with carbon seatstays.

Sure looks like it to me. It's a rebadged (some Asian built) frame. For what its worth, those wheels are boat anchors.

I bought my wife one fo those in silver and it was a pretty sweet deal. No surprises... except for a fair amount of assembly upon delivery. Everything else has exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend it as a great value to anyone -- except someone who isn't comfortable with basic wrenching, in which case spending an extra few bucks on a spec/trek/giant /bianchi is def the way to go.

I have one as well. The paint chips very easily. Other than that, it is really not a bad bike for the money. The wheels are heavy (actually fast too once you get them going, and bomb-proof). Swap the wheels out and it is a pretty nice bike. The frame is very good. Reasonably light and the geometry is normal, if you like sloping tt. You will get allot of wierd looks though. Good luck.
